The Fibonacci Sequence and Classical Education
I Love Numbers!! Have you ever heard "Actions speak louder than words?" Well....I think that NUMBERS speak louder than words. One of favorite series of numbers is the Fibonacci Sequence. If you've never heard of the Fibonacci Sequence, here is a short explanation. The Fibonacci Sequence is the series of numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ... The next number is found by adding up the two numbers before it: the 2 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+1), the 3 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+2), the 5 is (2+3), and so on! Here is an even longer list of numbers in the Fibonacci Sequence 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89,144,233,377,610,987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765, 10946, 17711, 28657, 46368, 75025, 121393, 196418, 317811, 514229, ... The NUMBERS make a PATTERN What's especially cool about the pattern of the numbers in the Fibonacci Sequence is that when we make squares with the widths of the numbers in the sequence, they come tog...
